标题: Hidden Rules: the Worm in Apple（潜规则：苹果里的虫子） [打印本页] 作者: lw56102 时间: 2007-1-8 18:41 标题: Hidden Rules: the Worm in Apple（潜规则：苹果里的虫子） There was a funny question that is about what is more disgusting than finding a worm when eating apple. You may already know the answer: finding half a worm. The so-called Hidden Rules, what we are living through everyday and everywhere, is just like the worm in apple.
As the worm in apple kills your appetite, the hidden rules are consuming our social credibility and effectiveness, in the long run destroy the spirit of justice and equality. We can refuse an apple with worms, but we could not refuse when all the apples suspected having worms. We even could not refuse any fruits when we realize that all the fruits not free of worms. Eventualy we have to adjust to the environment where fruits are always with worms. That is the case when we live with the hidden rules. At first you hate them and hope to change them. When we find that the society is full of them, we would learn to adapt them.
The difference between people who choose to adapt hidden rules or not is just like the one worm or half one. Since we are all told that there are always at least one worm in an apple, the one believing it would be very careful. With careful biting his chance to see one whole worm is higher than half. That would not be fortunate for one who dosen't believe it. It is not surprised that a man vomit at the sight of half a worm when he is eating an apple with big biting.
As for the hidden rules, people choose to abide by them always have more opportunities and advantages, but those fight or neglcet them often be bewildered by failure and hardness. If only one day all the hidden rules would be vanished just like all the fruits are free of worms.

有一个有趣的问题是这样的：吃苹果时有什么比看到一条虫子更恶心？想必答案你已经知道了，那就是发现半条虫子。所谓的潜规则就像这条苹果里的虫子。
如同虫子还你丢掉食欲，潜规则也在毁坏我们的诚信和效率，最后毁掉社会的公正和平等。我们可以拒绝一个有虫子的苹果，但是当所有苹果都可能有虫子的时候我们就无法拒绝了。我们甚至无法拒绝任何水果，如果所有水果都可能有虫子的话。最终我们只得适应水果总会有虫子的环境。就如同我们最终去适应潜规则一样。最初我们讨厌它们并试图去改变。当我们发现社会中潜规则无处不在时，我们会学着去接受它们。
选择接受还是不接受潜规则就像一条虫和半条虫的区别。既然我们已经知道所有的苹果里都至少有一个虫子，相信的人自会非常小心，小心得去吃苹果，那么他看到整条虫的机会就大得多。而不信的人可能就没那么幸运了。如果一个人大口的吃一个有虫子的苹果，那么当他看到半条虫后呕吐就没什么好奇怪的了。
而对于潜规则来讲，选择遵守的人往往有更多的机会和利益，而那些忽视它们甚至挑战的人往往会在困难和失败面前萎靡不振。如果哪一天所有潜规则都像苹果里的虫子一样消失该多好啊。作者: 蚊子爱医 时间: 2007-1-19 10:06
